Health and Safety Policies

Our goal is zero accidents and injuries.

At Russell Construction Company, we take pride in the health and safety of our employees and our clients and their customers. Without this very important piece of the puzzle, we do not consider a job well done.

Our Safety and Health Department is managed by Carl Richardson. Carl has been involved in the industrial/construction field since 1989. Carl attended the Texas A&M TEEX program from 2010-2012, and received his CSHO (Certified Safety and Health Official) Certification in 2012 bringing valuable experience in OSHA certified training and education.

It our policy that accident prevention shall be considered of primary importance in all phases of operation and administration. It is the intention of our management to provide safe and healthy working conditions and to establish and insist upon safe practices at all times by all employees. The prevention of accidents is an objective affecting all levels of our company and its operation.

The personal safety and health of each employee is of primary importance. Prevention of occupationally-induced injuries and illness is of such consequence that it will be given precedence over operating productivity. To the greatest degree possible, management will provide all mechanical and physical protection required for personal safety and health, but our employees must bear primary responsibility for working safely.

Training is one of the most important elements of any injury and illness prevention program. Such training is designed to enable employees to learn their jobs properly, bring new ideas to the workplace, reinforce existing safety policies and put the injury and illness prevention program into action. Training is required for both supervision and employees alike.

Our objective is a safety and health program that will reduce the number of injuries and illnesses to an absolute minimum, not merely in keeping with, but surpassing the best experience of similar operations by others. Our goal is zero accidents and injuries.
